Is it fair to state that religions are MAN MADE? The creators using them to justify their laws and chosenones

Question

I don't care what religion you are-you have decided in this life to be someone that is lead by the order that you inherited from relations you chose to persure or were born into. Can we not forgive each other our differences without having to say only YOUR God is the forgiver. I expressed an opinion about Muslims a few days ago that I felt completely ashamed about because I Can not stand religions but when I received the reponses I did I saw my question more racist than anti-religious. It was a hateful thing to say and I want to apologize to those I offended-and I hope they can forgive me-because ultimately my point was to end what Iraq has deemed a religious war and The U.S. has stayed in EVEN THOUGH THE EVIDENCE used to create this war was never found. I feel WE are pushing Christian power into the region and must tell Christians that you are not offering the other cheek but demanding change in an area that has a considerably longer history in ethniticity than does any American!

Answer 1

I'm sorry , I don't feel a statement about someones religion is racist because it is their choice and to be considered racist it would have to be a remark about a person as born , not as chosen, I disagree! People rip on me because my family was 7th day Adventist and say all kinds of things against that religion however I dont consider it racist. People need to stop using the term racist and start to look at more important things like what religion is doing by dividing us as a society of humans and consider Earth as a choice to worry about before it is too late.All things are man made except Earth.

Answer 2

All religions are man made EXCEPT one religion. That one true religion is God made. Many religions mix truth with fact and many are created to usurp power, popularity, and to make money. As Nephi said, these are the whore of the earth and will be destroyed in the day of the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

On the other hand, there are many good people in every religion that will be saved even though they never come to know the full truth on this earth.

Answer 3

Yes. Mankind has always created religion to satisfy his own needs or to explain that which he cannot understand. There is a difference, however, between religion and Christianity. Religion is a false front for piety. Christianity is a personal relationship between the believer and Jesus Christ. A religious person is judgmental and prefers to let someone else, such as a priest or minister, be responsible for his sin. God hates religion because it allows the individual to shirk his responsibilities. Christianity, on the other hand, demands that a person take responsibility for his/her own actions. Jesus loves you and he died for you. He wants you saved and in heaven, but you must come to terms with the sin in your life in order to inherit the kingdom of heaven.

Answer 4

Hey, u are already forgiven. My friend - if every being is made by god then their mistake (religions they form) are also indirectly god made. I am just looking at why u hate religions. They are the medium to find TRUTH and go beyond If you hate religion, then that is pointing to you that u have hatred, so be thankful to religions for showing u that and go ahead get rid of hatred.

I am a Hindu by birth, being born the eldest in the family in Punjab - I am a sikh (sardar-leader) also, Oh I was circumcised so I am a Muslim too, yes I practice touch healing (Reiki) so I am a christian too (Jesus used to heal with touch) and I practice meditation like Buddha so I am a Buddhist too.

Answer 5

Actually, the DMV doesn't "enforce" the selective services registration, the federal government does enforce it, with annoying phone calls and eventual arrest and massive fines. The DMV provides an avenue for you to register for the draft. This is actually an example of government streamlining, rather than the government setting up several agencies in every state and then paying people to carry out one minor function affecting 49% of the population 1 time in their life, they simply give the DMV a small stipend to take care of enrolling people in selective services.

Answer 6

yes it is because it's true. how could a religion be natural? the beasts of the field don't have a religion, yet they feel love, hate, fear, hunger, etc. as for using it as an excuse for justifying bull $h*t wars and holocausts, once again, you are correct. people always look for a reason to justify something that might be considered wrong by the thinking person.

Answer 8

iran was created by winston churchill. lol, but i don't believe in religions either. God created man, to fellowship and love Him directly one to One. then man created religion to make some sort of dependence between men& religious leaders. then it became a reason to justify war w/one another. my religion is better than yours. can anyone say inquisition? what a bloody unholy war. it takes an idiot to raise a village or church dogma that thinks theyre better then this one or that one when God gives all individuals sovereign will. so, they are actually allowed to do but we are all accountable for ourselves, individually . you wont defend an act bc your religious leaders, you willfully followed were evil, or not informed. you are responsible for you.
you wont be praised for following one who is good, either. "but Lord i knew billy graham"! He will respond "you shouldve seen he followed Me, your God. and done likewise". follow your heart in God, and be an individual. the real church spoken of in the bible, is Christ. (who is God, as is the Father & Holy Spirit) and the body of believers. Love ya all, God Bless
